Awww that was a really sweet story. Give your mom/dad hugs from us - nice to see those LOnGGGGGGGGG marriages that survive. You are a wonderful daughter (and your brother too).

So how many copies did you make or buy?

NICE article Carol!
Your parents are very lucky to have found each other so early and to stay together for so long. I wish you and your family all the best and hope that your dad will find some peace.

Great article and tribute to your parents.

Will you please keep us informed as to when your father's book comes out? I would love to read it.

That is soooo sweet! And so wonderful they printed the story!


We get a little supplement thing here and they had a story a couple weeks ago about this couple that eloped when they were 17. They are now in their 90's and live together in an assisted living/retirement community. It was so sweet it had me wanting to get all teary!

Aw, thank you guys, I'm touched that you all went and read it! My folks haven't seen it yet, actually -- the paper won't come out until Saturday, and I thought it would be more fun to let them find it themselves.
After that, I'll show it to them online.

GK, since I'm having my surgery tomorrow, I won't be able to get out on Saturday to procure extra copies. The editor told me the NeighborsGo section will be stacked up free for the taking at all Plano Starbucks locations, so I'll have to send my brother or my mom out to snatch up a bunch of extras we can mail out to family.

Thanks again for reading... I'll share all your kind comments with my folks when I show them the online article.
